Our entire family would like to thank the community of Burlington for their outpouring of love when our father, John Touloupas passed away. We have been overwhelmed by your many prayers and kind thoughts.

Dad was a part of downtown Burlington for over 50 years. Thanks to the Times-News and reporter Molly McGowan for honoring his legacy as a downtown merchant and most of all, a family man.

We all have special memories of him. Thank you for sharing your stories with us.
